EBC! Everest Base Camp Trek--A bucket list adventure. Incl helicopter ride down+

This is definitely a bucket list type of trip for our age group.

Great singles trip. Do what you love while meeting other like minded folks!!

It embodies adventure and the romance of traveling to far off places. It is also tempered with safety and do-ability.

The actual dates are Apr 25-May 11, 2025 and the trip is 17 days/16 nights.
We have done this adventure before. CLICK HERE to see attendee photos of the EBC trek

WE HAVE MADE CHANGES BASED UPON EXPERIENCE.

1. We are ADDING Yoga and Meditation, and a local expert TO BE WITH US to guide in Buddhist practice and local culture.
2. We are ADDING two days while going up to better acclimatize.
3. We are ADDING a HELLICOPTER FLIGHT from our highest camp back to start point AND REMOVING two days going down by taking the flight.

To clarify. We are NOT going up to the top of Everest (29,000’)
We are going to Everest Base Camp at 17,600’
Our starting elevation will be in Lukla at 9,400’

You need to be of average or better fitness. If you can manage walking 3-6 hours a day, up and down a hill while carrying a light daypack, you will be OK! If you are very fit and work out and train, you will be at the front.

Professional guides to lead, and Yaks to carry our gear are included. And a Yak Herder too!!

All that is left for us to carry is our water, snacks and camera.

But I don't have the needed gear?!
Sleeping bag and parka, rated to -10C are provided and walking poles too!

Does this include food?
All meals on the trek potion are included.

What is lodging like?
We are sleeping in a series of "Tea Houses" along the route. You will have a bed in a shared room with roommate (from the group). Sorry, a solo room will not be available on this trip. We will pair up everybody.

How dangerous is this? What if I get sick or hurt?
This is NOT the summiting Everest with people dying from bad choices. We will be walking on an established, well used trail the entire time, and NOT on snow or ice. Stats from past years show that 30,000 people a year do the EBC Trek. With all that said, . . . our trip INCLUDES emergency insurance. We are also Certified Wilderness First Responders.
Plain and simple, safety is our primary goal. We will have an experienced guide and porters, and we will be along the entire way.

How much does this cost?
Everest Base Camp Trip $3750 - 17 Days, land only (airfare not included)
For this trip we don’t offer single occupancy and we match you with a roommate if you don't have one.

We might be able to organize a group airfare from Los Angeles (LAX):**
Group Airfare would be around $1600. We will be working on this in the summer of 2024.
